Scottie Scheffler Withdraws from The American Express Due to Hand Injury

The World No. 1 golfer is targeting a return at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am after undergoing surgery for a Christmas Day injury.

Scottie Scheffler withdrew from The American Express tournament to allow more time for his injured hand to heal.
The injury occurred on Christmas Day when Scheffler sustained a puncture wound to his right palm from broken glass while cooking dinner.
Surgery was required to remove glass fragments, and recovery was initially expected to take three to four weeks.
Scheffler, the reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year, missed the season opener at The Sentry and is not scheduled to play in the Sony Open or Farmers Insurance Open.
He aims to make his 2025 season debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where he tied for sixth place last year.
